Linear Color Balance
The LPX-500 uses three LCD panels (R, G, B) to create the image. Ideally, all three signals should have the
same linearity, but due to various factors, their linearity continuously varies. The Linear Color Balance function helps maintain the proper balance between them, for improved color reproduction.
DCDi Processing
Faroudja, one of the world’s leading video technology companies, developed the DCDi processing used in
this projector. It ensures smooth and natural images without staircasing or jaggies.
* DCDi is not applicable to image from film sources.
Light Leakage Prevention
Most projectors suffer from light leakage, which is visible around the projector and also around the screen. This is especially visible if the wall in back of the screen is a light color, and is distracting when watching movies in a dark room. As the LPX-500 is intended primarily for home theater use, it is carefully designed to prevent light leakage.
Low-Noise Design
The Yamaha LPX-500 features ultra-low-noise operation (30dB) due to the quiet operation of its two fans, particularly the powerful Sirocco fan in the rear. Both fans are positioned to the side of the body openings rather than right in front of them, reducing the amount of noise audible outside the body.
